Olave is going in the mid to late third round (WR15 ADP), which Fernando Mendoza views as a buying opportunity; he notes that hitting on value spots like Olave and Burrow is where fantasy championships are won, especially since top-tier receivers like Puka Nacua and JSN are unavailable at those prices.PositiveValueJun 23, 2026
Saints WR would have been WR5 with Tyler Shuck last year; averaged 18.8 fantasy points per game with Shuck (only Puka, JSN, Jamar Chase, and Amon Ross St. Brown averaged more); saw consistent volume with both QBs but air yards per target jumped from under 10 without Shuck to almost 15 with Shuck; Fernando Mendoza has him as WR10 with late second round as good price; currently going WR15 in mid-to-late third round, presenting buying opportunity.
